Measuring Current of Solenoid with analog input differential

Problem description.

I have 4 solenoids (24V) switched by optocouplers.

I want to measure the current of the solenoids (100-350mA) by a 10 Ohm shunt.

The shunts have to be in the positive path between optocoupler and solenoid, putting the shunts behind the solenoids and ground is not possible.

The Hardware is a PXI-1033 system with PXI-6251 DAQ-Module.

 

Problem: measuring the current with 10Ohm differential an AI Ground leads to a Signal above 10V

              Connecting AI+ and AI- with 100kOhm Resitors to AI Ground leads to a Signal above 10V

 

Is there are a hardware solution to solve that Problem?

 

Thanks for help
